Secular Humanism: Economics
Socialism
Most Humanists believe in some type of a socialist economy because this is more consistent with their belief that man is an evolving creature who will become capable of planning the perfect economy. Man, who must "save himself," must be in absolute control of all aspects of his universe. Thus, the world's economic system must be strictly controlled through central planning – that is, government must be granted authority over man's economic affairs.
